SPECIFIECATIONfornngpartof. Letls Patent N0. 682,541, dated September 10, 1901.

Application filed May 15, 1901.

T0 all wwnt t 11i/Cty concern: n Be it known that I, 'HONORE GARNIER, citizen of the French Republic, residing at Paris, France, (Whose post-office is (57 Bd. Beaumarchais, Paris, France,) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Studs; and IV do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. l

My invention relates to improvements in studs, and has for its object the production of a stud of improved lform in which the foot is xnovably fixed to the stem in such a manner thatv it may be turned to each side of the stem., the foot being under the action of two springs, which always return it to its normal position after the stud is put in the shirt or other garment.

With this object in view the invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and afterward specifically claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference lindicate corresponding parts in all thek figures, in Whichy Figure l represents a vertical sectional view of the foot of the stud withits stem attached. Fig. 2 represents a vertical sectional view of thesame parts, ythe foot being tu'rnedto a position ready for introduction into the but- Fig. 3 represents a top plan view of the foot ofvthe stud with the stem in section on plane indicated 'by the line ma; of Fig. 1.` Figs. 4 and 5 are front and edge views, respectively, of the foot of a modified construction, partly in section.' Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the foot of the construction shown in Figs. 4 and 5, with the stem in section on the plane indicated by the line y y of Fig. 5.

The stem a of the stud has on its inferior part two trunnio'ns b, which are pivoted in bearings c in the covering-plate d of the foot. This plate is cut out in the middle, thus permitting the movement of two plate-springs g, one being on each sdeof the stem a, and the serial No. 60,329. (No man turning of the foot of the stud upon the stem, Fig. 2. These plate-springs g, cut out from a plate h, are bedded between the coveringplate CZ and the bottom plate e of the studfoot, the plate c having its edge turnedl or flanged around the circumference of plate d, thus maintaining all parts of the foot together. In the construction shown in Figs. land 3 the springs g are not in line Witlreach other. Their upper ends are bent and press on opposite sides of an enlargement or thickeningl of the base of the stem concentric with the pivots b. This construction permits of the turning of the foot and stem with relation to each other to the position shown in Fig. 2, in which position one of the springs g is pressed downward into the space between the plate h and the bottom plate d, so that it presses outward, as shown in Fig. 2, while the other spring g, with its end resting on the concentric enlargement Z of the stem, retains its normal position. The force of the under spring being unopposed by the outer spring will v other spring does notwork.

` The foot of the stud can be made of any metal, the working is perfect, and the stud is easy to handle, because it takes its normal position after being put in the shirt or the like.

What l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, `is

l. A stud of the class described, inwhich the foot of the stud takes always automatically its normal position after being putin the shirt, characterized by a ste/m,` which is provided on its bottom part with an enlargement and an axis trunnioned in bearings on the covering-plate Aof the foot of the studsub stantially as described.

stem is lowered to one of the plate-springs the IOO l 2. In a stud of the class described, the oomthe foot is turned against one side of the stem bination with the foot of the stud comprisingT substantially as described. lo a covering-plate and a bottom plate secured In testimony whereof I affix my signature together, of a stem trunnioned in bearings on in presence of two witnesses.
